The first trailer for Ang Lee‘s Life of Pi is now out and, as you might have imagined, it’s visually stunning. Watch it after the cut.

The film, an adaptation of Yann Martel‘s novel, is about Pi, a teenager stranded at sea, on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. But this trailer gives us no dialogue or real sense about the storyline, instead letting the visuals do the talking.

The word so far about this film has been terrific, setting it up as a true contender come Oscar time and from what I’m seeing here, that huge praise seems to be totally justified.

Les Misérables is a bit too over-the-top and pompous, but it’s still seriously well-made, with a passion and energy that translates to the performances (with one critical omission) even if it doesn’t always do the same with the vocals. Read my review for it here.

Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to The Hurt Locker is an undeniable masterpiece, a film that’s both disturbing and 100% necessary, the most vital film about post-9/11 America. Read my review for it here.
